. . . plus several texture sets to choose from — a standard black, a generic green, a basic sand… and of course we had to do a hot pink version.

I’ll bite — why did you have to do a hot pink version?!? Not that I’m objecting, I particularly like the pink camo (reminds me of hunters in bright orange camo, which actually makes sense if your prey is colorblind). But why?

I found a picture of a scantily clad woman. My wife says she is holding a pink gun but I don’t see it. So it must be the ultimate camouflage.
I don’t think I can post the picture here so you will have to google “pink gun bikini” to see it.

Tyger Purr explained where it came from but, like the Unflatable Pony here, it became something of an ‘in’ joke over on the Dystopia Team forums

Pink has actually been used as a legitimate form of camouflage in the real world. During the second world war they painted reconnaissance Spitfires pink as it made it harder to spot against the sun and clouds and they also painted ships pink (with a slight gray tinge) in order to disguise them (though they did stand out rather during bright mid-day sun) as well as desert raiding SAS Land Rovers.

And as WulfricF says it’s so hard to co-ordinate ones outfit when defending ones turf and you need something that goes with that little pink number (though black generally does go with anything ).

I wish I could remember, but I think it started out as a joke over on the Team-Dystopia forums… but then when the texture set first emerged for a number of weapons and people started using them in all these “bubblegum” pin-ups… it almost felt logical.

We had a number of scantily clad female operatives with all sorts of gear painted up in pink, what’s to stop them from customizing their guns? With that kind of firepower, not much.
